VeriSEAL
Group provides independent, no-cost verification of Special Operations
Forces personnel backgrounds to SEC associates, clients and law
enforcement. Requests from the general public are considered on a
case-by-case basis.
VeriSEAL was formed in 1992 as an independent, internal unit of the
Counter-Terrorism / Protection Group (CTP). Our mission was to arm SEC
Corp. (USI) with the ability to provide associates and clients
worldwide with immediate confirmation of SEAL and other SOF
credentials. That mission was expanded to a gratis public service
in 1994 with the commissioning of the 'Hall of Shame' under the
auspices of 'The Teams' website (no longer online) -- the first such
list to make public a roster of individuals masquerading as elite force
operators. 'The Teams' was also the first Navy SEAL website on
the Internet.
VeriSEAL is one of only a small number of BUD/S database custodians in
the world. The database, compiled by the U.S. Naval Special
Warfare Command and Naval Special Warfare Archives, is a complete
record of all graduates of Basic Underwater Demolition / SEAL (BUD/S)
training from the 1940s to the most recent graduating BUD/S
class. While the information contained in the database is not
classified, it is sensitive. VeriSEAL maintains appropriate
security measures and restricts direct database access to authorized
CTP personnel only.
More than half a dozen U.S. Government agencies, in addition to state
and local law enforcement agencies and the general public, have
utilized VeriSEAL to provide immediate SEAL background verifications on
government employees, contractors, suspected criminals and others who
claim service in the U.S. Navy SEAL Teams.
Approximately 95% of the Subjects of verification requests are Navy SEAL or other SOF impostors.
VeriSEAL is an exclusive service of Security Enterprise
Consultants. It is a no-cost public service. No fees have
ever been charged to, or requested of, any user. Donations are
neither solicited nor accepted. All verification requests are
strictly confidential.
